What's this about?

Ladies and gents our story begins with our author who one day packed up
his bags to spend the next 5 years of his life on some tropical island far
far away. This land is not like any place he has ever been to before.
There is no telling of what he may encounter during his stay there but one
thing is sure he is going to be in for one crazy adventure. And this is
where you get to read about it.

What you say?

Readers beware!

The stories told here maybe appear larger than in
real life and at times may even appear outlandish. However, all actual
events are in fact real (well, most of them). What may appear as a
distortion of reality to some may only be due to the author's perspective
of the actual events. Some say he is just not right in the head.

Went out to a bar last night, called Manong's. It's a nice place where you sit down order some beer and some food and you try to chat with the people around you over the sound of the loud music they are playing. It's one of the favorite places my cousins like to frequent.

Another of their favorite establishments is Petron. Now Petron is kind of one of those places that I would never ever go to drink at in the States. It would never even cross my mind because you see Petron is a gas station. No, it's not different from most of the ones you would find in the States. It's not even one of those with a Tacobell or Subway attached to it. It's just your average gas station with a little quick mart and that's it. So what you would do is go in buy the beer from the quick mart, and then go sit outside to drink it. By the end of the night there are a bunch of drunken guys standing next to gas pumps, smoking cigarettes. Some of the ideas people have out here are just so...brilliant.
